I must have missed it – Zell Miller to speak at GOP (!?!) convo?
this is from an msnbc item of a couple weeks ago.
why does this asshole even bother pretending any more?


Jun. 25 - Georgia Sen. Zell Miller, the highest profile Democrat to endorse President Bush for re-election, will speak at the Republican National Convention later this summer, a congressional aide said Friday.
Miller drew a sharp rebuke from the dean of Georgia's congressional delegation, Democratic Rep. John Lewis, who called the senator's decision "a shame and a disgrace."
According to the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity, Miller will give his address on Wednesday night of the four-day convention in New York that begins Aug. 30. The Bush-Cheney campaign was expected to make an official announcement later in the day.
The speech by Miller, a former two-term governor, comes 12 years after he delivered the keynote address for Bill Clinton at the 1992 Democratic National Convention, also held in New York.
Miller, who is retiring in January, has voted with Republicans more often than his own party and has been a key sponsor of many of Bush's top legislative priorities, including the Republican's tax cuts and education plan.
In May, Miller spoke at the Georgia Republican convention and criticized Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry as an "out-of-touch, ultraliberal from Taxachusetts" whose foreign and domestic policies would seriously weaken the country.
"I'm afraid that my old Democratic 'ties that bind' have become unraveled," Miller said.

1. He is a repugnant puke and shameless like the whole lot of them
Lies and misrepresentations are shit from their lips like diarrhea. They are disgusting. The Democratic party should strip the Democrat name from him. There has to be a way! He makes me sick.

Go ahead, Zell. Alienate yourself from the mainstream by adopting the extremist right-wing conservative views of the Bush Administration.

You're leaving anyway, so apparently you don't much care what garbage you leave in your wake. I'm sure your Democratic constituents in Georgia are incredibly disappointed in you. Way to stand up for the people of Georgia, Zell!

Asswipe.

ON EDIT: Even the Bush Daughters can spell better than I can!!

Tho i despise old Zell for being such a turncoat, heck, he has to be the first Senator in a long time to be a major speaker at the nominating conventions of both the Democrats and, now, the Republicans! Heck this is funny as hell...Zell has made history here, I think!

4. He's a major speaker at the Dem convention too?

I can understand him speaking for his fascist friends, but why our convention? I'm pissed about that. He has no Democratic values, actually, he has no value at all in my eyes. He's worse than freeper trash!
